About the workshop
This workshop aims to support you to develop your abstract for the upcoming conference. Given the way the opportunities to present and network have been impacted by covid-19 over the past 18 months we hope this workshop will give the confidence and impetus to get out there present your research. This workshop is for any ECRs/PG students who wants to present and this year’s conference and would like some additional support to get there. Writing mentors include Emma Willis, Chris Hay, and Yoni Prior.
